Waterford — Waterford and New London firefighters knocked down a fire at a 2½-story home at 93 Oswegatchie Road Tuesday evening.

No one was hurt in the blaze, but the house suffered significant damage, said Chief Mark Schenking of the Oswegatchie Fire Co. He said one resident was home at the time of the fire and was able to get out and call the fire department.
